My university uses AI detectors when marking papers, and almost any result higher than 0% can cause lost grades. As anyone whose used one of these tools will know, they have an extremely high false positive rate, meaning that while I don’t use AI (and can’t, given the technical nature of the papers) I still lose marks. Is there any way to decrease the rate of false positives without completely destroying the structure and flow of a paper?
Sounds like someone should file a lawsuit against the school for using ai ai detectors that don’t work right.
At the least there should be an appeals process, anonymously, where the decision goes to a jury of faculty or something if not settled otherwise.
